Comparative analyses of evolutionary rates reveal different pathways to encephalization in bats, carnivorans, and primates
Variation in relative brain size is commonly interpreted as the result of selection on neuronal
capacity. However, this approach ignores that relative brain size is also linked to another …

Reconstructing the ups and downs of primate brain evolution: implications for adaptive hypotheses and Homo floresiensis
Background Brain size is a key adaptive trait. It is often assumed that increasing brain size
was a general evolutionary trend in primates, yet recent fossil discoveries have documented …

Adaptive origins of primates revisited
Interpretation of the adaptive profile of ancestral primates is controversial and has been
constrained for decades by general acceptance of the premise that the first primates were …

Chewing on the trees: constraints and adaptation in the evolution of the primate mandible
Chewing on different food types is a demanding biological function. The classic assumption
